The Packers' Super Bowl berth-clinching 21-14 win over the Chicago Bears - on the road, against their archrival - wasn't beautiful in any way, shape or form, if style points count.

But they don't...so it's beautiful, as beautiful as any win in the history of the Packers-Bears rivalry could be, or any win in the last 14 years for the Packers.

Aaron Rodgers' day didn't include any TD throws, and the Chicago defense got to him enough that his performance equaled a QB rating of 55.4, less than double his rating after the 48-21 shellacking of Atlanta.

But he made the biggest play of his season on defense, tackling Brian Urlacher before he could get to the 50 yard line after throwing an interception to him, stopping him from a play that eventually would have made Chicago's final drive one that could have ended with a game-winning field goal instead of a final desperation drive at the end zone.

B.J. Raji's touchdown return in the 4th quarter also was not anything of aesthetic beauty, but when someone sprints with all that girth into the end zone for what turns into the clinching TD, us beer-guzzling, gut-wearing guys love it.

Especially when it sends the Packers 60 minutes away from a championship.

Yes, we hate it when the Packers allow a 3rd string quarterback to come within a touchdown of getting his bust set up over the Chicago River on Michigan Avenue as an all-time Chicago hero.
